Cool stuff. Absolutely impractical and useless for the most part, but still cool. Reminds me of when I was a kid trying to make soap box cars out of discarded wood and using a rope to steer the pivoting front axle. The slide looks fun unless you get going a tad fast into one of those sharp curves.

It shows that their minds are now where ours were at for the last 200 years.....they are also developing their minds to move forward where the American minds have stoped or slowed down......if chariman Mao havent had had the cultural revolution the probably would be by now way ahead of us......I can only hope that they don't get "inspired" by the American way of life and messed everything up as Japan did.

I like the face mask. That could be useful in the future. The slide looks like fun.

It is said that "Inventions are the mother of need?" or something like that....... well, for most of what I come up with is because they simple float into my mind, I don't go looking for them.........my dog walking pole and my new walking cane are exceptions and I made those two in less than two hours after I made them first in my mind, I did have to modefied my walkig cane but it took me only twenty minutes.

"Necessity is the mother of invention."

didn't Thomas Edison say "Invention is 99percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration"
